AlphaCase Elite Solar Generator & Panel

The Patriot Power Solar Generator AlphaCase Elite is a portable solar generator with 736 Wh of stored power and 800 watts of continuous output. It stores energy in a battery and delivers clean, fume-free power you can use indoors. Stashed inside this "solar briefcase" is a solar panel, flashlight, and all the cords you need to run the unit. It charges from the sun with the included 60-watt solar panel, from a wall outlet, or from your car, so you have backup power for emergencies, the worksite or off-grid trips.

With 736 Wh of storage and 800 watts of continuous output, it can run a typical fridge through a blackout, especially when you recharge with the included panel. Run times are approximate and vary by appliance and usage. A fridge cycles on and off, so it draws power only part of the time. Per CDC guidance, a closed fridge keeps food safe for about 4 hours, a full freezer about 48 hours; starting with a cold appliance and cycling power helps stretch your run time. See the footnote for details.

Phones, laptops, lights, CPAP machines, fans and small appliances, plus larger items depending on the model. It handles up to 800 watts of continuous power (1,600 watts peak), so anything that stays under that limit will run. Check the wattage on your device's label and keep your total under the generator's limit.

Yes. Unlike gas generators, it produces no fumes or carbon monoxide, so it's designed for safe indoor use. That makes it a practical way to keep a fridge, CPAP machine, lights and electronics running inside during a blackout. Follow the included instructions for safe charging and ventilation.

Three ways: from a wall outlet in about 1 hour; from the sun in about 15-20 hours with one 60-watt panel, or from your car. Solar charge times assume good sun; a wall outlet is faster and is the best choice when it's available.

Yes. Thanks to pass-through charging, you can power your devices at the same time the unit is recharging, so you don't have to choose between topping it off and keeping your essentials running. It's handy during a long outage when you're recharging by solar during the day.

Charge it fully before a storm so you're ready no matter the forecast. Solar charging slows on cloudy days, which is exactly why you can also top it off from a wall outlet or your car ahead of time. Once it's charged, it stores that power until you need it, rain or shine.

Built on a long-life LiFePO4 battery, it's designed for many years of regular use, holding up to repeated draining and recharging while keeping most of its capacity. Battery performance varies based on charging and usage conditions. See the footnote for details.

It uses a lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) battery. This chemistry is valued for being safe and stable, working in hot or cold temperatures, and lasting far longer than older lithium-ion batteries. Battery performance varies based on charging and usage conditions. See the footnote for details.

Focus on four things: capacity (watt-hours, how long it runs your gear), continuous and peak wattage (what it can power and start), battery type and lifespan (LiFePO4 lasts longest and is safe indoors), and recharging options (wall, solar and car). Match the wattage to the appliances you most want to keep running, and favor fume-free units you can use inside.
